You do indeed have an array of hashes (or rather an array of hash references), and to loop through them is actually quite easy:
foreach my $var ( @{ $form->{PR} } ) { if ($var->{'id'} == $form->{'id'}) { print qq|elem->key $var->{id} eq $form->{"id"}\n|; print qq|\t\t cleared? $var->{cleared} $form->{"cleared"}\n|; if ( $var->{cleared} != $form->{"cleared"} ) { $var->{cleared} = $form->{"cleared"}; print qq|\t\t FIXED $var->{cleared} $form->{"cleared"}\n|; } } else { print qq|var id: $var->{id} ne form $form->{"id"}\n|; } }
Output:
var id: 10368 ne form 12594 var id: 12585 ne form 12594 var id: 12592 ne form 12594 elem->key 12594 eq 12594 cleared? 0 1 FIXED 1 1
